ALAMEDA – The Raiders came back to sea level with a victory in hand and not much time to enjoy it. A 27-20 victory over the Houston Texans in Mexico City came on Monday night, compacting time to prepare for the Carolina Panthers.
The Raiders lost a day, and have therefore decided to focus on recovery in the early portions of this week. They typically practice in pads on Wednesday, but took them off to be as healthy as possible heading toward Sunday’s big home game.
Outside that, there’s no extra being done after playing at 7,328 feet at Estadio Azteca.
